US Immigration from Philippines

Are there certain POEs to avoid when coming from the Philippines. I was thinking maybe NYC and LAX should be avoided. Any experience out there?

Hello my fellow 751 sufferers....My wife has a 751 pending since 09-15-2021. She was ambivalent about applying for citizenship. She is finally taking the N-400 plunge. For those of you that submitted the N-400 online how did you let USCIS know that there is a 751 pending so it can be pulled and routed with the N-400? Thanks as always...B.

We won't be able to file the N-400 for about 6 months yet, and a good bit of that will be out of the country, but is there a domicile requirement for the N-400? And what would be acceptable as proof of that? We're full time RVers, so addresses are kind of difficult. My mail goes to a friend's house in Ohio so we have some financial docs that have that address but do they need more, like a lease?

It seems they arranged 300 immigration fraud sham marriages for Filipinos. Used the same props and backgrounds in allot of the wedding photos.

Hi Everyone,

I submitted I-485 for my mother in August 2023. I only attached a copy of my Federal Tax Transcript. Now, I received a mail requesting for evidence.

Here is the request:

1) The petitioning sponsor submitted a joint Federal income tax return for the most recent year. Since there is no supporting tax documentation (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555 and tax schedules) provided for the petitioning sponsor, we are not able to determine if the petitioning sponsor's income on the Federal income tax return meets or exceeds 125 percent (100 percent if military) of the poverty guideline. The petitioning sponsor must submit supporting tax documents filed with the joint Federal income tax return.

2) Based on the documents submitted with Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the petitioning sponsor the income did not meet 125 percent (100 percent if military) of the poverty guideline for the petitioner/sponsor's household size. Submit evidence from a qualifying joint sponsor. The joint sponsor will need to submit: A completed and signed Form I-864 for the joint sponsor. All pages must be present and of the same revision date A copy of the joint sponsor's Federal income tax return for the most recent year A copy of the joint sponsor's supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules) that you filed with your Federal income tax return Evidence of the joint sponsor's status as a United States citizen, United States National, or Lawful Permanent Resident.

I am the only one working in my household and my current salary is around 100k so after checking the income guideline. I am qualified to sponsor my mother.

My question is if I submit the requirements for 1 - supporting documentation for income ( I will be submitting form 1040, W2s, and 1099 - I forgot to include documents when we filed the application), do I still need to submit I-864 from a sponsor as stated in 2?

By the way, what do I put on current annual income? is it based on the last income tax return submitted?

I appreciate all your input.

Thank you.
